The Jacob Goering House was a historic building located on the hill above downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] The house has subsequently been torn down and the location is now a parking lot for Palmer College of Chiropractic.
History
Jacob Goering was an early labor organizer in Davenport who was involved in more militant national union efforts.[2] He worked at the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad shops, and was a leader in the railroad strike of 1877. When placed on the National Register of Historic Places it was one of a few buildings left in Davenport that reflected the city's major social movements of the 19th century.[3]
Architecture
The Goering house exemplified a popular and distinctive house type in 19th century Davenport, a vernacular form of the Greek Revival style.[4] It was a two-story, three-bay, brick, front gable house with an oculus in the gable end. The Greek Revival entrance and four-paneled door that was framed by sidelights and a transom was a distinguishing feature of this house from other examples in this style.[4]
